Sympathies to those that have lost their parents..

I'm trying to move closer to mine now that they're getting on in years, but there's no work where they live so I'm stuck working in another hemisphere on a different continent. My father recently separated from my mother and although I've seen them twice since neither are acknowledging it around me.

Anno must cost a fortune. It's a triple AAA engine that really pushes even the newer cards. For a strategy PC only title, that's rare these days.

Awesome skyrim video!

15 second ad to watch a 1 minute video? Mmm don't think so.


I've loaded it in two different windows and never saw that.


cutter needs to find a downside so maybe he just invented it

At the risk of drawing massive amounts of heat upon myself, I've been playing turn-based games since Rebelstar Raiders and I am fine with Back in Action. It seems to work okay.

Granted, I didn't play the original yet, but when I'm done with this one I'll probably get the original and mod it up to see what all the fuss is about.

I'm wondering if it's the hardcore lot who are having the difficulties with the new BiA.

I've played JA2 at least once a year since it's release, usually to completion.

BiA is missing a great deal of features that JA players are accustomed to having. This isn't "hardcores" being "hardcore", it's that BiA offers less of a game. The original is superior, and the graphics and control systems have aged well enough that there is no reason to play a newer inferior product.

Do yourself a favour and play the original.

I'm baffled at how people are so naive to think that it's unreasonable that some of those old games he's talking about cost $1-2 million to make.

Are these people on Twitter? You shouldn't be surprised.

twitter is just the delivery method. the real question you should be asking is are these people...people?

Why would anyone want to play this when JA2 and the 1.13 mod are still eminently playable.

Yeah I don't think it's a malicious thing, as Prez says it's just people minding their own business.

Where I'm from I tend to ignore what's going on around me as much as possible, a glance in the wrong direction can attract attention and bad news.. Keeping your head down and staying on the move is a simple way to stay out of trouble in many modern cities. Street smarts :\

At this point I can only conclude that they cannot fix the blurry up close textures on the PC because this megatextures concept is not able to. Please prove me wrong. Do things up close look just as bad on consoles as on PC?

A 128 x 128 pixel texture cannot magically upres. This is why Carmack uses a detail map\improved filter\or whatever on these low resolution images in a vein attempt at making them appear "crisp".

Of course it won't do much if the texture is low res to begin with.

Somewhere along the way programmers decided on a visual quality that suited their technology, and the art department leads went along with it.

3. Racial Epithet Shows Up on Minecraft Menu, Developer Apologizes Jan 28, 2012, 11:11 Dmitri_M
 
I speak Afrikaans, it's a derivative of Dutch and was originally spoken by white settlers in Africa. The people associated with the 'n word' in that menu dislike Afrikaans because it's the language apartheid was built on. The only reason non-whites speak Afrikaans is because it was forced on them in state schools.

If the guy had put "YOU ARE A RED SKINNED SUNBURNT LANDOWNING WHITE DEVIL", it might have been more appropriate. And actually funny.

I bet the translator responsible for that likes pictures of cute cats and doesn't get out of his first world suburb much.

And would you please turn in your nerd card for NOT knowing what class of ship it is, thank you!

Not all of us that play games consider ourselves nerds.

Not everyone who uses the internet likes funny cats.
